I was trying to tie up some zonkers this evening and was experimenting with materials to use to give some shape to the body underneath the mylar tubing. I have seen lead zonker tape sold in the past, but not having any of that on hand the best ideas I could come up with were using different diameters of lead wire to form a roughly tapered underbody or using the handles from those little plastic things that you can buy for flossing. A little trimmimg with a razor blade makes for a nicely tapered underbody that, unfortunately, has very little weight to it. My question(s) is this. Any suggestions for adding weight to the plastic bodied design, or any other ideas in general for making the underbodies on the zonker. Thanks.
